background and objectives:rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry.methods: four to five mm thick paired...

the present paper is aimed at describing a “closed cycle” power plant schematic (soft, solar oxygen fuel turbine) with macroalgae (seaweed) cultivation in a pond, combustion of its organic matter in a fluidized bed boiler of rankine cycle and return of the combustion products to the pond to feed algae. the oxygen used for combustion is released to atmosphere in photosynthesis. as a renewable fu...

abstract:a mathematical model for the performance prediction of an industrial glass furnace with six ports on each side was developed. this model comprises of two main sub-models for the combustion chamber and glass-melting tank. the first sub-model consists of the models for the combustion and the heat transfer model including, radiation, convection and conduction. the fuel combustion in atmos...

Combustion mechanism of a 300 MW pulverized coal boiler is analyzed and the optimization of the performance of the boiler is carried out. The flow field, temperature field, devolatilization, char combustion and CO generation in the boiler furnace under actual condition is obtained by using Fluent. Three methods to improve the efficiency of boiler combustion are proposed based on the pulverized ...

Metals like Fe, Ca, Mn present in sewage sludge ash have been deposited on high surface -alumina with high mechanical resistance used as bed materials during sewage sludge fluidized bed combustion to produce low-cost CLC oxygen carriers. The produced oxygen carriers have been characterized using ICP-MS, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and surface area (BET) analysis....

The development of combustion systems to minimize the emission of pollutants and to increase the system’s efficiency involves modifications of the combustion process using premixed systems and highly turbulent swirl stabilized flames. However, these modifications of the combustion process usually lead to stability problems caused by the appearance of combustion-driven oscillations. Therefore, i...

The objective of this study is to investigate the combustion in a pilot-ignited supercharged dual-fuel engine, fueled with different types of gaseous fuels under various equivalence ratios. It is found that if certain operating conditions are maintained, conventional dual-fuel engine combustion mode can be transformed to the combustion mode with the two-stage heat release. This mode of combusti...

Gasoline compression ignition (GCI) has been shown as one of the advanced combustion concepts that could potentially provide a pathway to achieve cleaner and more efficient combustion engines. Fuel and air in GCI are not fully premixed compared to homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), which is a completely kinetic-controlled combustion system. Therefore, the combustion phasing can be ...

The ratio of furnace bottom ash (FBA) to flyash produced in a coal-fired boiler was historically around 25:75 with utility boilers operating with an unstaged combustion regime. With the advent of low NOx burner systems this ratio has changed and is now 15:85 or even lower. This is unfortunate since the demand for FBA is high, with 100% of is sold to the construction industry, whereas only 50% o...
